BrunchRodent’s Den

You found my den, I apologize in advance lol 32 He/Him (but kinda liking He/They) Please be patient, I’m on the autism spectrum. Please read the pinned post for introductions/DNI info, thank you. Icon is a stock photo.

[brunchrodent]

Alright so I might as well make this post letting y’all know where I’m coming from on a lot of my rants, ramblings, reblogs and recommendations.

Howdy, I’m BrunchRodent!

Just call me Brunch!

He/Him is cool, but I’m exploring He/They!

Haven’t entirely pinned down my orientation yet (still clearing things up in terms of definition), just know that I find all types of folk gorgeous!

I’m from America.

I’ve worked jobs in the food industry, and I have a tiny bit of experience with welding (never went through because the training program kicked me out)

I’m on the autism spectrum and I’m 32

I’m learning as much as I can about Anarchism and associated paths that are either related or close to Anarchism. Learning about societal change is important to me, and I view learning and the gaining of knowledge as a (for lack of a better word) sacred thing.

Please DO NOT INTERACT if you are a minor, a bigot, a TERF, or a fash supporter or centrist (I do not have time for centrists)

If you are any form of LGBTQ+ or are part of a marginalized group victimized by the system, you are welcome and safe here, I love you and respect you.

Please, be patient with me, I tend to ramble on about stuff, especially when I get heated or emotional.

Be safe, support your local co-op/library/shelter/lgbtq+ resource center, and be sure that you take your prescribed meds today!

Vent time.

Every fucking time there’s a stream showcasing games, every brainless chatter says the same “ooooh I want Bloodborne! Bloodborne 2 when?!??? When Bloodborne?!?!?”

Fuck you, I hope Bloodborne gets permanently deleted off every console and the source code gets lost to the fucking ether. Go fuck yourselves. I wish that fucking game, no matter how good it was, never fucking existed.

Another thing, as an add-on to my last post about spoilers, 3 things:

1. Leaked spoilers are usually taken out of context to act as a tool of the leaker. The more “WTF SHOCKING” it may seem, the more optics are upon them and the leaker. Please keep that in mind, leaked images/videos more than likely are out of context, incomplete, or even downright falsified via editing/a.i or even just by leaving out key details or telling half truths. (I remember back in the day of Last Of Us 2 discourse the amount of people who fell for the “Abby Is Trans” misinfo, and it spread like wildfire. Don’t repeat those mistakes!)

2. Let’s say you get spoiled. The best path you can take is to look and go “…okay. How did we get to that part?” Because sometimes, you need the lead-up for a scene, and that can drastically change your perspective. It’s like that old saying of “it’s about the journey, not the destination.” Sometimes you need the journey for the destination to be satisfying. So don’t lose hope for being spoiled.

3. If things turn out less-than-ideal, remember: You always have fan content to fall back on, and no one can take that from you. For fuck sake, we have a massive community dedicated to Transfem Jax, you think that’ll just “go away”??? NO! So have some hope, my friends!

Much love and respect to all of you, stay safe people! Take a break if you need to!

[brunchrodent]

You cannot rely on hearsay of other people, especially in this day and age with a.i dogshit. So if anyone is concerned about stuff related to spoilers/leaks, take a moment, count of 4 breathe in, count of 4 breathe out, repeat, and consider the possibility that such leaks might be fabricated. Trust your own judgement, trust your own viewing of the full context, don’t trust leaks from some roundabout source. Common sense, people, use it. It’ll be okay.

HI I'M MOVING OUT

I've applied to a real nice new place, but I would appreciate any help with getting the funds together for emergencies, food, and various other moving-out-for-the-first-time expenses. I gotta ko-fi link right here… hi…

Buy peachdelta a Coffee

Become a supporter of peachdelta today!

I don't talk about it often but my current situation isn't super duper awesome, and it tends to kind of annihilate a lot of my motivation and opportunities for work. Moving out means more art. Simple as. The art will get extremely awesome when I no longer feel like one of those stressed-out parrots whose cages are really really tiny

ALSO - If you don't just want to send money and you actually want to get a little something out of it, I have a couple of things lined up that you can grab. I just opened my VGen store for digital Kasane Teto emotes you can grab if you want.

Kasane Teto Emotes by delta ☆ (@peachdelta)

I'm also about to open up orders for these adoptable designs I made a few weeks ago, so you can grab one of these and you'll just have it forever. Get a little guy

Again, any help is really appreciated, but don't feel pressured to! Thanks you very much for reading, mwa mwa mwa

If I have to deal with one more fuckhead mentioning Bloodlines 2 in the comments underneath either the new Hunter game or new Werewolf game, someone’s gonna get put through several plate glass windows headfirst.

So fucking tired of it.

Shut the fuck up.

Move the fuck on.

Y’all are acting like a videogame fucked your partner and took a shit in your favorite chair.

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

this post will find you when it needs to find you.

just some facts: you are loved. you are not alone. you are valuable. you are worthy of good things. you are deserving of self love and forgiveness. i’m glad you’re still here.

Fighting off the need to sleep during the day, so I can go to bed at a proper hour, an idea for a fanfic pops into my head and I’m tempted to write it down but worried when I wake up it’ll look like shit in my non-exhausted state.

I hate this meat prison sometimes, I yearn for the machine.

Hey, wanna make music? Yeah? Got a buncha money? No? Well that's perfectly fine, check this free stuff out:

Vital - A powerful wavetable synth, my personal favorite VST synth, very easy to figure out creating new synth sounds, with the help of the plenty of tutorials that are out there for the plug-in. (There are paid versions but they are completely unnecessary to get 99% of the features of the plug-in.)

Synth1 - A classic piece of synthesizer software.

Pendulate - An interesting, chaotic synth that you can make weird little sounds with.

Native Instruments' free plug-ins - Various cool VSTs, including the Komplete Start pack.

The Free Orchestra - A set of orchestral instruments for Kontakt Player (see previous link).

BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover - More orchestral stuff! This one has its own player so you don't have to download a separate VST to use it if you don't want to.

Magical 8bit Plug - A chiptune plug-in, intended for producing sounds like that of 8-bit systems like the NES and Master System.

Genny - A synth VST made to emulate the soundchip of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

MT Power Drum Kit - A nice rock n' roll style drum kit plug-in.

This guy's weird VST collection - 6.4 gigabytes of weird VSTs, including some you might know, like Delay Lama and MeowSynth!

sforzando - A free player for soundfont files.

Musical Artifacts - A resource I mainly use to find soundfonts, on which you can find other various things as well.

Kilohearts Essentials - 30 effect VSTs including reverb, delay, compression, pitch shifting, transient shaping, ring modulation, phase distortion, and more.

Xfer's freeware VSTs - Exactly what it says on the tin, including the one and only OTT compressor.

Illformed - The good ol' dblue Glitch 1.3, Crusher, Stretch, and TapeStop.

Hysteresis and Fracture - Two interesting glitch effects, one being a delay and the other being a buffer.

Codec - A cool digital audio degradation effect.

Le Phonk - A slick distortion plug-in.

MAIM - An effect that mimics the sound of MP3 compression.

Soundly Shape it and Place it - One is simply an equalizer VST, the other is an effect that emulates a speaker (ex: a radio) and a space (ex: a cave).

Fresh Air - An effect that adds high end information to your sounds, to provide brightness.

ValhallaSupermassive - A combo reverb and delay plug-in that sounds quite big.

UnplugRed - A collection of various interesting VSTs, most of which have free versions.

Chowdhury DSP - I can't personally speak for all of these but their tape model effect is great for some lo-fi style effects.

TAL-Chorus-LX - A thick sounding chorus, good for "retro" sounds too.

Polyverse Wider - A great effect for widening sounds up, really simple too with only two controls.

Freesound - A good audio file resource, mainly for foley recordings.

Cymbatics Dubstep Starter Pack - A little sample pack with some good drum and synth samples.

fishmonger drum kit - A pack of samples from the album 'fishmonger' by Underscores!

WangleLine's sample packs - Free samples put out by my awesome mutual WangleLine!

aaand I might as well include this set of drums I made a while back :P

As for DAWs, it's been a long while since I've used anything other than FL Studio (not counting Audacity, which I still occasionally use for specific purposes), which, while being the only one I can directly recommend, is paid. However, I've heard good things about Reaper which has a "free trial" that you can technically use forever, akin to WinRAR. Additionally, I've also heard some good things about Waveform Free.
